A 1940s Balco Pocket Watch with Chain

1920 - 1940
Description

A 1940s Balco pocket watch.

The watch has a signed stem-winding movement, based on the Cortébert ebauche (a blank movement which was subsequently finished for onward wholesale under the Balco name). The same calibre of movement was also used in some of the Rolex military watches in the 1940s, known as the Rolex 548 calibre. This particular movement is ticking away nicely and working well. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in good condition, as is the lens.

The signed dial has some damage at number 4 but otherwise looks good.

The watch comes with a single watch albert, 34cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

PRICE INCLUDES WORLDWIDE POSTAGE

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1940s.

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
